With half term looming and a holiday addiction to satisfy my husband and I got thinking about where we could spend a few days. Various other family commitments (parties and weekend visits!) meant that we only really had 3 nights to play with. To complicate matters, my husband set me the challenge of planning a… Continue reading Bruges and the Belgian Coast
A easy to use link to all blog entries
Ok so we don't normally go to the same place on holiday more than once. There are so many amazing places to see and only so much time and money that it seems a shame to go somewhere twice (besides, for me the thrill is in searching out the unknown!) We recently broke with tradition… Continue reading Holidays that become a habit: Returning to the same place for a holiday? A good idea or not?
As an academic I am fortunate to have colleagues who I am blessed to call friends as well. Just before our second child was born (in July 2016) we met up with one such friend and her husband in London for a long overdue catch up over brunch (we went to the wonderful Greenbery Cafe… Continue reading London Zoo – an overpriced and disappointing day out
I'm often asked how I manage to travel with young children when they are still mainly bottle fed. In many ways it does make it more complex but it is easy enough to sort.

It seems a shame to leave… Continue reading Holiday bucket list

Instead of spending money on unnecessary stuff we will choose instead to spend it more wisely (in our view) on memories and experiences. Life really is about building memories and I can think of no better way… Continue reading A day cruising the Avon – a bucket list adventure
So for the first time since having children we're pretty much tied into school holidays. Whilst our daughter doesn't start school until next September (2018) she is at a term time only pre-school. With the Easter holiday looming we started thinking about what we might do and where we might go. I quite fancied Scotland… Continue reading Porto with children
So back in February I wrote about my latest must have travel gadget for children. I promised I would let you all know how we got on, so here goes... We've just returned from a lovely 5 night break in Porto (I'll say more about this soon!). In preparation for this trip we got our… Continue reading Product Review – Flyte bag
Ok, so whilst we may try and limit screen time at home, when we embark on travelling with our two little ones (particularly the 3 year old) we find it's easier to be fairly relaxed about how much she watches, particularly on flights. Now toddler's taste in TV changes from day to day, so it's important… Continue reading TV on tablets – what does and doesn’t work abroad?!?
